Letter: Thank you for volunteers’ efforts
Published 9:37 pm Monday, June 5, 2017
My brother Richard and I would like to thank the Shinefest organization and the volunteers who worked in our neighborhood last month. They provided us with some much-needed tree trimming and paint job to the front of the house. They even helped us decide to put shutters up around the windows, which I had never thought of. They added a whole new dimension to the look of the house. People have even said they didn’t recognize the house after the work was completed. The organization is a wonderful one and I hope more people will be able to receive this assistance in the future.
Volunteers, a special thank you to all of you. Without your willingness to put aside a few hours every day for that week, many people in the neighborhoods around Hawthorne Elementary School wouldn’t have been able to get some much-needed work done around their homes. You all had smiles on your faces, and you were willing to help in any way you could. So, again, thank you so much to the organization and volunteers for the service you provided, and may God bless you all.
